It would be cool to have a Truman Show style project where Alex is sent to an artificial town where straight, white middle-aged guys are systematically oppressed, and he just has to live there forever, I know at best he would be in jail within a week, still would be fun to watch.

Also, to my surprise, I don't think he's actually in Slacker. He would've only been 16 when it came out. It's probably ground zero for his shtick though.

Not slacker—Waking Life, right?
― singular wolf erotica producer (Hadrian VIII), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 22:27 (three years ago) link
Definitely in both Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly

he's in waking life and a scanner darkly, not in slacker
― Temporary Erogenous Zone (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 22:29 (three years ago) link
Ugh, he's in A Scanner Darkly, too? His presence is the number one reason I haven't rewatched Waking Life in over a decade.

I've watched A Scanner Darkly at least five or six times and don't remember him, think he might just be a maniac ranting on tv or in the street as they pass by, which would be the ideal casting.

He was featured in Jon Ronson's Adventures With Extremists in 2001. By then he was an established nutjob, but was unattached to right wing politics per se, and more focused on the ruling class at large. When I started seeing more of his antics surface the last few years, I kept thinking "This dude is now mainstreamish? And a right wing shill to boot? Whoa didn't see that coming"
― octobeard, Thursday, 15 October 2020 19:53 (three years ago) link
Also recently watched his bit in Waking Life not knowing it was him for certain but it certainly reminded me of him... and made me feel uncomfortable
yeah its weird to see that public access clip or that bit in waking life and remember a time when 'black helicopter conspiracy theorist' types seemed apolitical. Like obviously its a right wing ideology at its core, but seeing Jones in Waking Life back whenever that was I'd never expect that guy would someday be a passionate supporter of a sitting president
― turn the jawhatthefuckever on (One Eye Open), Thursday, 15 October 2020 20:32 (three years ago) link
yeah it was more fun when he wasn't a shill, just a weirdo. I used to find him quite funny but I can't watch him anymore without being annoyed

For me it's also the difference where 20 years ago, he would just be the guy propping up the counter at his local watering hole that the other regulars wish would shut the fuck up, instead he's got a rabid following of thousands of morons.
